The U.S. wireless 5 business has matured in recent years, leaving carriers like Verizon, AT&T Inc. and Sprint 6 Corp. increasingly fighting to steal market share from one another. Offering digital video-over-wireless connections represents a growth avenue in coming years for Verizon, which last year brought in $127 billion in revenue and profit of $12 billion.
